Famous mom, designer Tina Knowles comes to University of Houston Oct. 3

One fashion weeks ends, another begins. Last week, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York wrapped up, then London’s version kicked off.

On Saturday in London, Tina Knowles and her famous daughter Beyonce were on hand to show the spring collection for their The House of Dereon brand. It’s perfect timing since Tina Knowles will be in Houston 11:30-1:30 p.m.Monday, Oct. 3. for the University of Houston Women’s Studies and friends of Women’s Studies Living Archive Program. I am so pleased to be doing the interview and will be asking this famous mom about her evolution as a working mother of two, business owner, role model and much more. The interview will last about an hour with some time for audience questions, and it will be held in the Rockwell Pavilion of the University of Houston MD Anderson Library. Tickets are $10 and free for students. Call 713.743.3214 or email wost@mail.uh.edu.

The Living Archive program highlights the achievements of Houston women. On Oct. 25, Chronicle features writer Claudia Feldman will be interviewing author and former diplomat Joanne King Herring. Each Living Archive program is professionally videotaped and becomes part of the Women’s Archive at the University of Houston’s Anderson Library.
